I liked the fact that the teacher was nice and make me feel comfortable and safe during alll my time there.
The fact to be in a country where I have to practice daily really helped me to understand better and feel confident when discussing with other people.
I really recommend the experience !

"An amazing and memorable learning experience in Sydney"

David Ros

I had a truly great experience with InFluent in Sydney. The classes were engaging and well structured, and I really appreciated the personalized approach of the teachers. I felt that the lessons were adapted to my level and interests, which helped me improve quickly while staying motivated.

The location was perfect, close to many activities and places to explore after class. The facilities were clean and comfortable, and the housing provided a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I especially liked the cultural immersion aspect, as I was able to practice English daily in real situations and discover the local lifestyle.

Overall, I enjoyed everything and felt supported throughout my stay. The only downside is that I wish the program had lasted longer, because I was really enjoying the experience!

I would highly recommend InFluent to anyone who wants to improve their English while discovering an amazing city like Sydney.
